MPLAB® Harmony Graphics Suite (MHGS) Supports 32-bit MCUs and MPUs 

Creating professional-looking embedded Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) has never been easier when you use the powerful and free MPLAB Harmony Graphics Suite (MHGS). Available within the MPLAB Harmony embedded software development framework, MHGS is specifically designed specifically to take advantage of the capabilities of our high-performance, 32-bit embedded graphics MCUs and MPUs. This tightly integrated system of tools and software allows you to add GUIs, animation and imagery quickly and easily to a graphical display. Its “What You See Is What You Get” (WYSIWYG)-based embedded GUI development system comes with unique features that enable you to spend less time fixing bugs and re-integrating code from external tool sets and libraries, reducing your development time, cost and risk in designing compelling new products for your end users.

Why Should You Use MPLAB Harmony Graphics Suite for Your Embedded GUI Development?

  • Tightly integrated tools environment: The tight integration between MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE), MPLAB Harmony embedded software development framework and MPLAB Harmony Graphics Suite produces an enhanced, interactive development environment so you can focus on creating and debugging your application-specific code. This leads to lower overall development costs, a shorter time to market and higher-quality products.
  • Performance: MPLAB Harmony Graphics Suite was designed from the ground up to enable code portability across multiple families of 32-bit MCUs and MPUs while also making maximum use of the Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), multi-layer overlay graphics controllers and DRAM available on our high-performance 32-bit MCUs and MPUs.
  • Cost: MPLAB Harmony Graphics Suite is free to design with and use with our 32-bit MCUs and MPUs. It is also royalty free. All components are available in each public release of MPLAB Harmony and work with the free version of the MPLAB XC32 compilers.
